Review Quotes:

"This is a well written, well researched book that every thoughtful American should read. The paradox of millions of underfed people in the world's most richly endowed nation not only offends this author, it should offend all of us." - George McGovern, U.S. Senator and author of The Third Freedom: Ending Hunger in Our Time

"Inspiring, heartbreaking and harrowing." - Newark Star Ledger

"A penetrating journalistic study that puts a human face on [hunger]. ... A wake-up call to policy makers." - Kenneth Kusmer, author of Down and Out, On the Road: The Homeless in American History
